Gyro Sensor Motion Capture

Gyroscope sensor working principle.

Gyro sensor motion capture. By subtracting the gravitational acceleration from the sensor frame the accelerometer can calculate the initial position. Mechanical motion capture sensors. Principle of navigation systems based on inertial sensors. Wearable and mountable motion and environmental sensors.

Gyro sensors come in a variety of types. Depending on the direction there are three types of angular rate measurements. Xsens is the leading innovator in motion tracking technology and products. Here different types are plotted by size and performance.

Xsens products include motion capture imu ahrs human kinematics and wearables. The gyroscope in this motion sensor network measures the orientation of the sensor data that reflects gravitational acceleration. Sensors for motion capture biomechanics industrial control robotics facility management cold storage research product development. In recent years vibration gyro sensors have found their way into camera shake detection systems for compact video and still cameras motion sensing for video games and vehicle electronic stability control anti skid systems.

Bunch of concerned applications have been mentioned pointing to the commerciality of the technology. Inertial motion capture uses imus inertial measurement units with built in sensors to detect position and movement. The gyroscope measures angular rate. Our sensors include an accelerometer gyroscope magnetometer barometer temperature and ambient light sensor.

The motion gyro compass from kongsberg is a maintenance free imo type approved motion sensor and gyro compass for navigation that in addition can serve other applications or solutions in need for attitude and heading input. In this section we look into the application of inertial sensors for tracking human motion. It is used to determine the rotational orientation of the imu. Germany magdeburg march 2010.

These typically include gyroscopes accelerometers and sometimes magnetometers. For more robust and accurate motion sensing in consumer electronics gyroscope sensors are combined with accelerometer sensors. The privacy risks associated with some sensors like a mi crophone eavesdropping camera or gps tracking are obvious and well understood some of the risks remained under the radar for users and application developers.
